We are really spending a lot of time creating these Excel sheets, sending them back, sending them, receiving them back, discussing the changes, and so on—placing orders in a semi-manual way, tracking the status of orders. This is something we expect to be performing much better in the future. We expect to have much faster, basically real-time exchange of information of the status of an order, being able to have full transparency, but also cutting down on the cycle times, because all this receiving, uploading in a system, downloading from a system, sending to the partner, that takes a lot of time. We really expect to be able to cut the planning cycle with a third-party also significantly by speeding things up.
